A Tokyo company has begun selling beer mugs made of ice.
The mugs, which are said to last about an hour in the summer heat, may be purchased over the Internet for approximately $6 each (580 yen).
Presumably one would have to pay for refrigerated delivery, but thanks to a culture of customary gift giving that often involves food, frozen deliveries are surprisingly affordable.
The video also contains details of the newly opened Icebar Tokyo, located in upmarket Ginza.
???????????????????????????
Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a mold so you could freeze your own?
Actually there is a problem with freezing your own. Ice that is made in commercial ice machines melts slower (less air bubbles, etc.) – so it would likely end up a sloppy mess. Also, they actually have to carve these things, they can’t mold them.
